Lyrics

I sit here in your room, by the light of the moonThrowing shadows on the wall, they don’t help me at allStill I feel you all around meWhisper to me

Mourning doves and garden gloves, rusty tools in the shedThe climbin’ tree, your love for meNothing more needs to be saidBlossoms in the spring, red birds on the wingDogwood in the yardYes, all of these thingsKeep you close to meClose to me

Story

This tune began as a clawhammer banjo piece and somehow evolved into a guitar instrumental.Mom, (Rita Mohan) being of Irish heritage, had always wanted me to write a Celtic tune. I always envision her dancing on the moors when I play this.

Story

Just a fun tune co-written with my friend Brooks Williams while attending The Swannanoa Gathering in North Carolina.This song took first place at Connecticut's first Annual Podunk Bluegrass Festival Songwriters Contest in 2010.

Lyrics

I like a train, rollin’ along, I like the way she winds and rollsI like her pullin’, tuggin’ howlin’ and a-chuggin’Pullin on down the lineLike a steel guitar, she softly whines she’ll sing her way through the coal black night, she’s gone, baby she’s gone

Get on board, take me awayPack my bags, I’m gonna leave todayI’ll feel her pullin’, tuggin’ howlin and a chuggin’Makin’ my way to you , yah to you In my dreams the clickety clackToo late now no turnin’ backI’m gone, baby I’m gone
